Jenny Marie Telfer-Crum

Jenny Marie Telfer-Crum provides skilled physiotherapist care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Chronic Pain

• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - Supportive Care: Physiotherapy for CRPS aims to manage severe pain, improve mobility and function, desensitize the affected limb, and promote normal use, often using techniques like graded motor imagery, mirror therapy, sensory discrimination training, and gentle graded exercise.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) - Activity Management: A carefully tailored physiotherapy approach for CFS/ME that respects energy limitations, emphasizes pacing, and aims to improve stability in daily function rather than pushing for increased activity levels that could worsen the condition.
• Fibromyalgia: Physiotherapy approaches for managing the diffuse pain, stiffness, and tenderness associated with fibromyalgia, often involving gentle exercise (e.g., aquatic therapy, tai chi, graded aerobic activity), pain science education, activity pacing, and stress reduction strategies.
• Persistent Post-Surgical Pain (Chronic): Ongoing pain that continues for more than 3-6 months after a surgical procedure, well beyond the expected healing period, and is not attributable to other causes like infection or implant failure.

Pelvic Health

• Prostatitis Symptoms / Chronic Pelvic Pain in Men (Supportive Care): Addressing male pelvic pain, which can manifest as testicular pain, penile pain, or suprapubic discomfort, through specialized physiotherapy techniques targeting musculoskeletal and neuromuscular dysfunctions.
• Constipation / Bowel Dysfunction (Pelvic Floor Related): Improving the coordination, strength, and relaxation of muscles involved in defecation to promote easier and more complete bowel movements.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Jenny Telfer-Crum can assess your needs.

• Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment: A thorough evaluation by your Physiotherapist to accurately diagnose movement dysfunctions, injuries, and the underlying sources of your pain.
• Fibromyalgia & Widespread Pain Management: A holistic and supportive physiotherapy approach to managing the diffuse pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms commonly associated with fibromyalgia.
• Functional Movement Screening (FMS™/SFMA™ if certified): Evaluation of your body's basic movements (like squatting, lunging, reaching) to highlight areas for improvement in stability, mobility, and motor control.
• Patient Education & Self-Management Strategies: Empowering you with a clear understanding of your condition, its causes, and practical tools for effective self-management and lasting relief.
• Chronic & Persistent Pain Management Programs: Comprehensive strategies developed with your Physiotherapist to help you understand and live better with chronic pain, focusing on improving function, reducing pain's impact, and enhancing self-efficacy rather than solely on pain elimination.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Detailed analysis of your static and dynamic posture, with tailored exercises, stretches, and advice to help you improve alignment and reduce strain on your body.

At All Things Pelvic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jenny Telfer-Crum frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Jenny Telfer-Crum believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) is hindering your ability to easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips, a personalized plan focusing on understanding how to prevent future flare-ups and manage their condition long-term can make all the difference.
• Many find that swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment significantly impacts their ability to resuming their weightlifting routine at the gym safely. Jenny Telfer-Crum helps patients target greater ease in performing overhead activities or reaching with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older? Jenny Telfer-Crum works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as simply being able to get through a workday without constant pain interruptions.
• Are you finding that recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) stops you from enjoying returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain? Jenny Telfer-Crum is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Jenny Telfer-Crum, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

Jenny Telfer-Crum's practice, All Things Pelvic, is situated in the Downtown Kitchener, Cedar Hill neighborhood of Kitchener. The clinic is conveniently located near Centre In The Square and is accessible via Grand River Transit (GRT) (Bus and ION Light Rail). Our clinic is accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most Ontarians. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Is there parking available at or near All Things Pelvic?

Ample free patient parking is available directly in front of and beside the building. Look for the designated patient spots.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiotherapist to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.
